| Honest honorable men fighting a severe injustice against their own supposed representative government’s love affair for the benefit of a foreign country, its disloyal Israel First supporters and campaign contributions they receive from themselves. It’s enough to make you vomit. Remember the USS Liberty. Israel is not worth it. -jd

| Thanks to Ernie Gallo for forwarding the “new” and claimed-to-be-complete list of NSA links to Liberty information |

 USS Liberty turning while under attack by Israel in international waters . Attacked without warning. Sadly, NSA still ignores and claims not to have or to be aware of any |
| Why is it that the risk of “embarrassing an ally” takes priority above the death of 34 men, the loss of a United States Ship, multiple documented war crimes and the violation of international law and US law? |

| The earliest such report, though not the first to reach us, came from US Air Force Captain Richard Block who, as duty watch captain with the USAF 6931st Security Squadron on the Greek island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea, about 350 miles from the Gaza Strip. Captain Block’s presence of mind was fortuitous. Recognizing the intercepted instant-translations between Israeli pilots and their controllers as important, he took immediate action to forward the translations not only to national authorities in Washington at the highest precedence for intelligence material (CRITIC), also to Air Force All Source Intelligence Centers around the world. People who saw these translations were stunned by what they read, yet they were sworn to secrecy by the most stringent security restrictions and for the most part, while horrified, kept the story and their feelings to themselves for many years. Years later, these people started to come forward, as recounted below. |
| One such analyst was Air Force Captain Stephen Forslund on duty as a US Air Force intelligence analyst at the 544th Air Reconnaissance Technical Wng, Offut Air Force Base, Omaha, Nebraska. Forslund eventually retired from the Air Force after 26 years of service, and told us the story after reading Assault on the Liberty. |
| A statement by former Air Force analyst James Ronald Gotcher, who saw the same intercepts as a US Air Force Intelligence Analyst with the 6924th Security Squadron, Da Nang, Republic of Vietnam. |
| Statement by Army Colonel Patrick Lang who saw the intercepted material at an advanced cryptology course at Fort Holabird, Maryland, a few months after the attack. |
| Ambassador Dwight Porter describes seeing the intercepted materials described by Gotcher, Forslund, Block, Lang and others. |
| Just as Lyndon John [sic] declined to “embarrass an ally” by allowing US jets to defend USS Liberty, so the US government ever since as declined to “embarrass an ally” by releasing the full story of the attack on our shi |

This attack should actually change the meaning of the statement, “Eyewitness Report”. At the very least an exception should be made to the two words.when Israel is concerned. Eyewitness would not pertain to the attack on the Liberty. Ironically the men who make the eyewitness report of what they actually saw were some of the most trusted men in the US Navy. Many of them with Top Secret Clearances that were’nt just handed out to anybody back then. If there are unwritten laws about a nation that turns its back on its own, it would certainly apply here. These men have had the finger of anti-Semitism aimed at them more then once. Are they really? I doubt it.
